Without a shadow of a doubt, the weirdest thing Brian Berke sent the Blog in his image packages last year was the following three items, which we'll look at before I explain, as once you've looked at them, you'll realise an explanation is the least you can expect!
Yes, those are people with domestic appliances for heads! They are the bad-guys. Yes, there are heads living in lavatories! They are the good guys! I think? And they don't live in the bowls, they are toilets - you'll have to Google it! In a nutshell, a race of the eponymous Skibidi Toilet people are engaged in a war, with Grand Theft Auto styling, against a race of appliance-headed people - the Multiverse!
This is the most extraordinary phenomena, for several reasons, firstly Skibidi Toilet, is a purely amateur, one-man, AI-assisted, CGI-generated cartoon series, made by one YouTube content creator from Georgia (the country) on his own PC, you'll have to Google it! Second, it's entirely an online, 'Gen-Alpha' fan-driven phenomena, which has exploded in a singular section of youth society.
But, thirdly, as far as I can tell (you'll have to google it), the guy (Alexey Gerasimov) responsible has only produced the material on YouTube, which suggests that these toys (you'll have to google them) are entirely unlicensed, hence the lack of branding beyond the title-graphics, nicked from YouTube.
And your Googling will rapidly reveal tons of these toys on Amazon, evilBay and Alibaba, among other platforms, so a factory, almost certainly in China is making an absolute fortune out of one guy's weird Gen-Alpha flex on YouTube . . . You'll have to Google it, but the whole Skibidi Toilet story is amazing, these Gen-Alpha's will not fight in Trump's, Netanyahu's or Putin's coming wars, they are as alien to us, as we are to the Romans.
You can see the figures are toy-soldier'y, in not being articulated 'action figures' and my own Googling suggests many of them have been issued, and I thank Brian for shooting them on his Italian holiday, and sending them to the Blog, where I've had a crash-course in what's really happening out there! Weird, but you'll have to Google it!
*********************************
I've just Googled them again, and in a few months, the picture has changed greatly, with many more figural products, including deforms, action figures and larger statuettes, when Brian sent the images (last June), these (roughly 60-mil I think) were pretty-much all there were, but many of them. Maybe some of the products are now licensed from the originator?
